Along with lived experience of grief and trauma, I have over 10 years supporting adults, teens & families in crisis.
Grief is love with nowhere to go. When loss comes through death, betrayal, or trauma, it doesn’t just break your heart — it can shatter your sense of safety. You are not broken — you are responding normally to something abnormal. I offer a compassionate, trauma-informed space to lay your burden down, where all parts of your story are welcome.

You may be at a point in the year when everything feels slower, heavier, or harder to organize. The days blur together, motivation dips, and you might feel unsure about how to finish the year or how to begin the next one. My ideal client is someone who notices this late-year slump and wants support to understand it rather than push through it alone. You may be tired of feeling drained or scattered and are looking for steadier ground. Your goal is to move through this season with more clarity and to reconnect with a sense of direction that feels true to you.

There will be times when we spend more time processing past events and family history, and times when it makes more sense to focus on creating the life you dream of.
You're a woman between 39-50ish and something just feels OFF. It's definitely physical: the hot flashes, waking up in the night, can't remember anything, the weight gain, but it's also emotional: the mood swings, irritability, the burnout, the lack of motivation, the sense of just not feeling like yourself. You wonder if you're just "getting old", or maybe your hormones are out of whack? You are doing ALL the right things. You exercise, you eat clean, you have good relationships, a career, and just when you're starting to feel like you've got it figured out, the rollercoaster of emotions hits you. It's so incredibly frustrating.

What do family therapists do?
A family therapist facilitates the process of understanding and improving how a family functions. The therapist will help family members develop empathy for one another. They’ll seek to understand existing patterns, misunderstandings, and conflicts that arise, in order to help the family arrive at a realistic, unified understanding and develop the coping skills they need to build stronger relationships.
How long does therapy for families take to work?
Therapy manifests differently in every family; a common time frame is 12 weekly sessions, but some families may see improvement after just a few weeks. Families should discuss their goals with the therapist at the beginning of the process and periodically revisit those goals to assess their progress together.
How can you encourage a family member to attend family therapy?
You can encourage family members to attend therapy by expressing with both love and concern the challenges you see and explaining how a therapist could help the family navigate those challenges together. An outside perspective can help everyone feel heard, get on the same page, and develop new skills. If family members are still hesitant, it may be helpful to emphasize that family therapy is short-term—it won’t last forever.
Is therapy for families effective?
Family therapy can significantly improve family dynamics and relationships. Research suggests that family therapy can help individuals understand their role in the family, communicate and solve problems together, reduce conflict and draw boundaries when necessary, and develop coping skills for stressors, major life changes, and mental or physical illnesses within the family.
